JACK IRISH, Season 2 (Exclusive US/Canada Premiere, Trailer)

"Tight, taut, high-powered viewing... highly addictive" -The Guardian

"Terrific... a perfectly imperfect hero whose company you'll relish... with romance, exotic suspense and dry wit, Jack's the whole package." -TV Guide

Popular film and Emmy-winning tv star Guy Pearce (Iron Man 3, Memento, When We Rise, Mildred Pierce, The King's Speech) returns again to his Aussie roots as the late Peter Temple's antihero in a new six-part thriller. Jack stumbles into the world of manipulative Pharmaceutical companies, corrupt educational institutions aimed at international students and fatal clinical trials. The apparent suicide of a foreign student triggers a chain of events that will see Jack risking his life to uncover the truth. Season 2 features returning favorites Marta Dusseldorp (A Place to Call Home, Janet King), Roy Billing, and Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road). (6 EPS)
